Abstract
The General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP), is a general purpose
protocol to control an ATM switch. GSMP allows a controller to
establish and release connections across the switch; add and delete
leaves on a point-to-multipoint connection; manage switch ports;
request configuration information; and request statistics.
